Ilitch Companies’ colleagues spent time this month giving back to the community, volunteering at Cornerstone Schools’ Jefferson-Douglass Academy for a special Partner Reading Day with kindergarten through fourth grade students. 

The initiative focused on strengthening literacy skills by pairing volunteers with students to support Cornerstone’s reading programs. Through interactive reading sessions, colleagues helped children build vocabulary, improve comprehension, and develop a deeper enthusiasm for books. 

School Principal Monica Thompson highlighted the value of the event, emphasizing how meaningful reading time can be for young learners. “It's an amazing partnership. And it just reinforces what we tell our students when we talk about the complete life,” said Thompson. “All of the volunteers here today are showing our students they could have been anywhere else, but they took their time to come and to meet our students and to read with them.”

The day began with a warm welcome from the school community. A performance by the middle school choir set an uplifting tone, followed by a powerful student story about his personal journey to reaching grade-level literacy, an inspiring reminder of the impact strong reading support can have on a child’s future. 

Volunteers then joined students in classrooms, sharing stories and encouraging active participation, making reading both fun and engaging. 

For many colleagues, the experience was just as rewarding as it was impactful. Talent Acquisition Manager for Little Caesars, Shaun McGowan, reflected on his time with students, sharing his perspective on the importanceof literacy and community involvement. 

“The energy that we get from these kids and helping these kids, is something that we're going to continue to do a lot more of,” said McGowan. “We're all about Detroit, born in Detroit. We have to make deposits into the community before we ask for withdrawals from the community.”

Events like Partner Reading Day reinforce Ilitch Companies’ ongoing commitment to supporting youth education and empowering the next generation, one story at a time. 

The Little Caesars AAA 14-and-under boys’ team captured the 2026 Chipotle-USA Hockey Tier 1 national championship at USA Hockey Arena in Plymouth, Michigan. The team is led by former Detroit Red Wings goalie Chris Osgood, along with Head Coach Artem Mnatsakanov.

The 14U squad was one of six Little Caesars AAA teams to qualify for Nationals, and all six teams delivered strong performances. The 13U team reached the semifinals, while multiple teams advanced to the quarterfinals, underscoring the depth of the program and the consistent development taking place across all levels.

“We’re incredibly proud of our 14U team, and of all of our athletes and families across the Little Caesars AAA program, for the way they represent our organization through their work ethic, teamwork, and commitment to our core values,” said Brian Rolston, director of Little Caesars Amateur Hockey. “We look forward to continuing to develop our athletes and preparing them for long-term success in hockey and across all aspects of their lives.”

Founded in 1968, Little Caesars AAA Hockey provides young athletes access to elite competition while helping them build discipline, leadership, and habits that shape them both on and off the ice.

The Michigan Amateur Hockey Association state playoff tournament wrapped up over the past few weeks in Taylor, Michigan, where several Little Caesars AAA teams delivered outstanding performances.

By the close of the tournament, Little Caesars AAA claimed eight state championship teams: 12U Girls, 16U Girls, 19U Girls, 2015 Boys, 2014 Boys, 2013 Boys, 2012 Boys, and 2011 Boys. With these victories, Little Caesars Hockey now holds 131 state championships in club history, a testament to the program’s sustained success.

“The dedication and commitment of these players and their families is inspiring,” said Brian Rolston, director of Little Caesars Amateur Hockey. “They embody the spirit of what makes this program so special, both on and off the ice.”

Little Caesars AAA was founded in 1968 to give young people access to high-level competition and the opportunity to grow through the game, developing life skills that serve them well beyond their playing years.

The journey continues as six teams set their sights on the Chipotle-USA Hockey National Championships, beginning March 25.

Ilitch Companies’ colleagues recently volunteered at the Capuchin Service Center in Detroit to give back to community members. Volunteers stocked shelves in the Shoppers’ Choice food pantry, sorted donated clothing and household items, and organized the clothing store.

Capuchin has been a cornerstone in the Detroit community for decades. “We started with serving soup out of the back of a monastery and now we have two soup kitchens serving about a thousand meals a day,” said Br. Fred Cabras, Director of Social Services with Capuchin. “Here at the service center we get about 175 families that are coming through every day. We provide, food and clothing for all of our guests, Monday through Friday.”

For many volunteers, the experience was both eye-opening and deeply meaningful. Beyond completing tasks, the group had the opportunity to engage directly with community members offering assistance and conversation. These moments reinforced the power of service and the importance of showing up for neighbors in tangible ways.

Communications Coordinator for the Detroit Red Wings, William Gregory, adds “It’s been really meaningful. I can already see the people and how much they need these things in there and how happy they are to get them. We're a large organization, and the amount of people and the hours that we can give to services like these, is it's really important to do, especially in the city we represent.”

This volunteer initiative reflects Ilitch Companies’ ongoing commitment to community impact. By supporting trusted community partners, the company reinforces its dedication to making a meaningful contribution beyond the workplace.

Recently, the Little Caesars AAA girls hockey program celebrated its graduating players who plan to play at colleges and universities throughout the United States, a testament to their years of dedication on the ice, in the classroom, and through every season.

Little Caesars AAA was founded in 1968 by Mike and Marian Ilitch to give young people access to high-level competition and the opportunity to grow through the game.

The program is among the top in the country, thanks to the leadership of Head Coach Jeff Mitchell and the families who support these athletes along the way.

Continuing a long-standing community initiative, the Detroit Tigers have opened applications for the team's ticket donation program. Throughout the 2026 season, the Tigers will donate 135,000 tickets to community groups, schools, non-profit organizations and others– the same ticket amount the team distributed to the community in 2025.

This effort includes Major League Baseball’s Commissioner’s Community Initiative Tickets Program and the Downtown Development Authority’s (DDA) Tigers Ticket Donation Program. Donated tickets directly benefit thousands of deserving individuals from several different categories.

"Tigers baseball has the power to bring the community together in so many different ways -- we are excited to remove the primary barrier to attending games at Comerica Park through our community ticket donation program,” said Jon Perry, Community Impact Manager at Ilitch Sports + Entertainment. “The Detroit Tigers are proud to announce the return of this program, which supports hundreds of diverse community organizations in Detroit and across Michigan as they positively impact the lives of young people and deserving community members by helping them attend Tigers home games each season.

“The complimentary ticket programs serve as a great example of our desire to open our doors and encourage organizations to use Tigers baseball as a vehicle to reach the families that they serve, generating community pride and togetherness through the excitement of America’s pastime.”

Consistent with seasons past, eligible groups must fall into one or more of the following categories to receive tickets:

• Auction Winners & Volunteer Recognition

• Boys & Girls Clubs

• Cultural Groups & Social Impact

• First Responders

• Governmental/Civic

• Health-related (including Mental Wellness and Hospitals)

• Homelessness/Housing

• Library/Reading Programs

• Military/Veterans

• RBI & Youth Baseball/Softball

• Religious Organizations

• Schools & Summer Camps

• Senior Citizens

• Youth & Family Services

Of the number of tickets donated, the MLB Commissioner's Community Initiative is contributing 85,000 tickets, while the DDA Tigers Ticket Donation Program is donating 50,000 tickets, specifically intended for youth-serving organizations in Detroit and Wayne County. As part of the DDA portion, 4,000 young people and their chaperones will receive a heightened experience, including complimentary transportation and food & beverage, through the Game Day For Kids program, which is presented by the Detroit Zoo, which has returned for 2026.

This initiative highlights the Tigers' commitment to making a positive impact to the community by providing opportunities for various groups to enjoy games at Comerica Park. Any eligible group interested in learning more about the Tigers’ community tickets program and applying for tickets can CLICK HERE today. Requests are reviewed and approved on a rolling basis, February through September.
